Hello. I'm David. I'm 34 - how the hell did that happen? I try to love this life; it's the best one I've ever had and I plan to get my money's worth because you just never know. Do you? So I guess while I'm alive I'll keep smiling and keep reaching. I have a positive outlook and an accepting, open mind but can be a right crabby bastard when I'm tired. Sorry about that! This is a pretty shitty world, but I'm on Earth to shine a light and smooth the way.

Hello to all who are reading this. I'm a Paisley lad born and bred but somehow have not developed a penchant for tartan baseball caps and tucking my socks into my tracksuit bottoms. Currently teaching computing to kids who have little interest and trying my best to forget it at the weekends. I love my music. Have played at various club nights in and around Glasgow but more recently have substituted this interest with a morbid fascination for balls.
